Wow! Men with rifles and attached bayonets ... Looks like they were going to fight a war ...

I'm going to guess this was a copy, and that one of the soldiers is a relation of the Mrs. Gough who ordered it.

The Gambia Regiment is a possibility, per wikipedia:
The parade uniform of the regiment consisted of khaki drill shorts with red fezzes, along with scarlet zouave-style jackets. The jacket style was inherited from the West India Regiment. The jackets had a yellow edging and red cummerbunds. In the field, the regiment originally wore a variation of the Kilmarnock cap, but just prior to World War II this changed to the slouch hat. Similarly, British officers attached to the regiment initially wore pith helmets, but they also later changed to the slouch hat. Although most uniforms in the RWAFF were similar, the special distinction of the Gambia Regiment was a khaki and brown puggree, and a brown cummerbund.

AI Overview

This image displays a historic trench map of Belgium, specifically Sheet 28 NW, Edition 4B, created at a scale of 1:20000.
This type of map was crucial during World War I, particularly in areas like Ypres, where trench warfare was prevalent.
The map likely details features such as trenches, tracks, dugouts, and possibly cemeteries, providing vital information for military operations.
Older versions of these maps, like the one shown, were often meticulously traced and updated to reflect changes in the battlefield.
The red markings on the map indicate corrected trench lines or other updated information, reflecting the dynamic nature of the front lines.

To My Chum

No more we’ll share the same old barn
The same old dug-out, same old yarn,
No more a tin of bully share
Nor split our rum by a star-shell’s glare
So long old lad.

What times we’ve had, both good and bad,
We’ve shared what shelter could be had,
The same crump-hole when the whizz-bangs shrieked,
The same old billet that always leaked,
And now – you’ve “stopped one”.

We’d weathered the storms two winters long
We’d managed to grin when all went wrong,
Because together we fought and fed,
Our hearts were light; but now – you’re dead
And I am mateless.

Well, old lad, here’s peace to you,
And for me, well, there’s my job to do,
For you and the others who are at rest
Assured may be that we’ll do our best
In vengeance.

Just one more cross by a strafed roadside,
With its G.R.C., and a name for guide,
But it’s only myself who has lost a friend,
And though I may fight through to the end,
No dug-out or billet will be the same,
All pals can only be pals in name,
But we’ll all carry on till the end of the game
Because you lie there.
